What to do?


In about a month I will be moving out of my 12x18ft dorm room into a 7.5x14 ft nightmare of a room (remember it will also have my full size bed, desk and dresser). My question is in regards to my stereo, what should I do with it? Keep in mind, this is my baby, I have been building this for about three years. I started with paradigms and worked myself all the way up to Mini Utopias. I started with a Yamaha CD Changer and now have a Musical Fidelity 3D. My Acoustic Zen ICs cost more than my orignal amp. You guys get the picture.

So what should I do? I was thinking that I might sell the system and start over in about 1.5 yrs when I will have more room again. In the meantime, I was thinking of downgrading and going simpler. Maybe some Triangle Cometes or Quad 11Ls with a Creek Integrated or audio refinement integrated. I could probably even "borrow" a SCD-C333ES from my dad as a source.

It will be just be sad to see it go, although it might be worth it, I will still have my headphone set-up (Senn HD 600 w/cardas cable and Berning MicroZOTL) and I will get a smaller replacement system. My biggest concern with keeping the big rig is that I will not be able to hear the system at its full potential and I will know what I am missing. With the cheaper gear, I know that I will be missing something, but it will be for thousands of dollars less.

So, what should I do? Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks

True True, tough decision...if you can live with the gear in the small room, keep it...headphones are great, but they don't do justice to music, no matter how wonderful the phones are...but remember that a good system does not need to be "loud" to be heard...its greatness is the dynamics it gives when down low...but you can sell and get it all back 1.5 years later.
good luck.
